The Thomas brothers are known for their cheeky smiles, dashing good looks and infectious personalities.

While the trio share a close bond, they had little knowledge of their family history until jetting off to India.

Adam, Scott and Ryan are exploring their Indian roots in the hope of seeking out long lost relatives, but their journey of discovery brings up some questions closer to home.

When twins Adam and Scott were just seven-years-old, dad Dougie walked out and completely disappeared from their lives.

The boys hold no grudges and he reappeared a few years later, but it makes what they discover about their secret family members even more poignant in ITV's Absolutely India: Mancs in Mumbai.

Hoping to unlock the mystery surrounding their grandad’s early years, the lads reveal they are puzzled by their British surname.

In a bid to get answers they head to their Grandad’s former school to meet up with headmistress Blossom Lillywhite, which leads to a major discovery.

Revealing that they are in fact Angelo Indian, something they never knew until now, Blossom explains: "

She says: "In your case it was somebody from Britain or a European country who came into India many moons ago and married an Indian. The offspring is known as Angelo Indian."

There are more shocks to come when Blossom reveals she has done some digging and found dad Dougie's cousin still living in Mumbai.

Heading to the iconic and affluent Marine Drive, a beautiful promenade that curves along the Arabian sea, the nerves kick in for the brothers who admit that they are worried about meeting their cousin.

"I'm a little bit apprehensive this morning. To actually realise we have living Thomas' in the city is beyond imagination," confesses Love Island star Scott.

Former Emmerdale actor Adam asks: "I’m a little bit nervous, what if she doesn’t like us?".

The Thomas' worries quickly disappear once they meet Keshia, who certainly shares the big personality and humour that the boys have.

The lads admit they feel like they have known her all their lives, while Keshia claims they are all good looking and have the same nose as her.
